They can say things like: ” your to: thin, tall, fat, loud, quiet” ” your a lousy parent, friend”. “you don’t earn enough, you have to work harder, don’t even start it won’t be of any use” “You don’t deserve to exist, you are a failure” “its all your fault”

These are judging voices that try’s to shame and bully you to behave/look a certain way so you won’t get attacked ore hurt. So its intentions are actually good.
